I don't know why, but this season has been one of the first that I don't have a "favorite team" that I want to win. Early on, I was going to pull for Ray & Yolanda, but they just don't show ANY sense of urgency at all, unless they KNOW they're going to be last unless they hurry. MoJo are annoying. Fratboys are doing well, but they ruined it for me quickly in the first few episodes. I guess it's down to the hippies for me, but I don't think they're taking the race seriously enough. It's one thing to have fun, it's completely another thing when it costs you valuable time, especially at this stage.

i think the emnity between the mojo and the hippies is not spur by the mojo's lack of donations to the hippies. The mojo just seems to hate the hippies for no apparent obvious reasons.
monica's constant whining of 'oh i can't stand the hippies." "oh..the hippies are so annoying...'
i'm really not sad to see mojo gone.

I dont think the hippies wanted to yield Mojo ONLY bcoz they didnt give em money

I hated the family version and I don't know if it was the late nights in the beginning but I just could not get into this season. All I know is I can't stand the Frat Boys, and I'm hoping the editing is setting it up that way because they don't come in first.

Yeah, early on I was favoring the hippies & nerds. Now it's really a toss up in my mind who wins.

I wonder if it's gonna be a run away where one team just takes off and leaves the other teams on different continents and the winners race to the finish by themselves? Frat boys seem capable of doing that!

Same here. I thought anything would be an improvement over the family edition, but at least there I was actually rooting for someone. I'm rooting more for Ray/Yolanda to just beat the other three teams over rooting for them because I care or want to see them win. In another season, I'd probably be like "who?" whenever there name got brought up This season has had probably my favorite locations of any TAR season, but definitely one of my least favorite casts.

Now that the lightening rod, Lake, is gone, I wouldn't be disappointed if any of the remaining teams leaped on the Finish Mat first. This season each of the teams has had interesting personalities and dynamics (even Lake). They've taken all the Race character stereotypes up a notch so that these are people I would like to meet. I've enjoyed watching the de-stressed post-show interviews on the Finish Line at cbs online.

As far as the 5-3 show goes, I can't wait to see Monica's reaction to the alligator pond. Blow those digereedoos (sp) mates!
